An expression of the \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo\u003c\/strong\u003e area, it displays an intense garnet colour in the glass with bright ruby highlights. On the nose, clear notes of ripe stone fruits emerge, harmoniously intertwined with floral and spicy aromas. The palate reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by sweet tannins that lead to a long and persistent finish. Its organoleptic profile pairs excellently with flavourful dishes such as \u003cstrong\u003ered meats and game\u003c\/strong\u003e, also enhancing pork-based preparations and mature cheeses. It is recommended to \u003cstrong\u003edecant for one hour\u003c\/strong\u003e before tasting to fully appreciate every nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the prestigious Bussia cru, a striking \u003cstrong\u003evineyard amphitheatre\u003c\/strong\u003e located in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe\u003c\/strong\u003e. The rows of vines stretch at around three hundred and fifty metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal exposure to the south and south-west. The soil is characterised by a composition alternating \u003cstrong\u003elimestone and clay\u003c\/strong\u003e with sandy deposits, originating from marine geological sediments of the Tortonian era. The microclimate and soil shape the vineyard’s identity, which \u003cstrong\u003ePrunotto\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances through rigorous \u003cstrong\u003efield selection\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter careful manual selection, the bunches are destemmed and crushed. The \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins lasts for about fifteen days, ensuring the correct extraction of colour and aromas before the completion of malolactic fermentation. The maturation takes place over a period of twenty-four months, using a combination of large \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e and second-use barriques to enrich the wine’s texture. The production cycle concludes with twelve months of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to consolidate balance and flavour stability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1904, the \u003cstrong\u003ePrunotto\u003c\/strong\u003e winery revolutionised Piedmontese oenology by introducing the first selection of the \u003cstrong\u003eBussia cru\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1961, a historic vineyard amphitheatre in Monforte d’Alba. Overseen by oenologist Gianluca Torrengo, the precious \u003cstrong\u003e2021 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e transformed limited yields into exceptional quality, earning 95 points from Decanter and Vinous. Before being released to the market, this noble red matures for a further 12 months in the bottle, ensuring absolute elegance on the palate and offering a tasting experience of unparalleled historical prestige.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prunotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45747793395883,"sku":"58773","price":81.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/prunotto-barolo-bussia-2021_58773_1_002f3b8e-839f-40cb-b08c-1f37b51b648e.webp?v=1773787478","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-be\/products\/prunotto-barolo-bussia-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
